"I have concerns around the hours applied for and the potential this has to have an increase in crime in the area at a time that is consistently difficult to police. (PC Steve Muldoon, Metropolitan Police)"
"Any increase in late night activity after midnight, when ambient noise levels go down, impact on residents as patrons leave the premises, with many returning to cars parked along quiet residential streets. (Mayfair Neighbourhood Forum)"
"Within feet we have The Royal Academy of Arts, The Royal Institution, The Arts Club, founded by Charles Dickens, the art galleries, the venerable and respected Brown's Hotel. This will mean that all night and at 05:30 loud, drunken rowdy people will spill out. (Belinda Harley, Mayfair Neighbourhood Forum representative)"
Stringfellows, a famous Covent Garden strip club, has applied to Westminster City Council for licenses to operate a Sexual Entertainment Venue on Dover Street in Mayfair, with proposed hours until 06:00 daily. The club plans to limit capacity to 175 patrons, reducing to 100 after 03:00, with all activities confined to the basement to minimize noise. However, the Metropolitan Police objected based on potential crime increases during difficult policing hours, while residents and the Mayfair Neighbourhood Forum raised concerns about late-night disturbances, parking issues, and the venue undermining the area's character. The location, a former Aston Martin showroom near Green Park station, has remained vacant for years. A licensing decision was expected this week.
